Hey UK friends! As winter chills creep in, many of us are on the lookout for home hacks to keep warm without breaking the bank. πΈ While some suggest placing tin foil behind radiators to reflect heat back into our living spaces, experts are urging caution. Why? π€·ββοΈ

Well, ordinary kitchen foil isn’t designed for this purpose and could degrade at higher temperatures, posing a fire risk. π«π₯ So, whatβs the better alternative? Radiator reflector panels! These purpose-made reflectors are designed to be safe and efficient. They help keep heat from escaping through the walls, which could trim your energy bills by Β£20-Β£25 annually and even decrease your carbon footprint. ππ‘
These reflectors are typically made from reflective materials with a thin layer of insulation and are readily available at DIY stores like ScrewFix, B&Q, or on Amazon. π

Before you try that seemingly simple tin foil trick, consider this expert-approved alternative for a safer, warmer, and more cost-efficient home this winter. Stay cosy! π β€οΈ
